The "How" of Multiliteracy Pedagogy

  • Situated Practice:
    • Immersion in a community of learners engaged in authentic practices.
    • The community must include experts, people who have mastered certain practices.
    • Such experts can guide learners and serve as mentors and designers of their learning processes.
  • Overt Instruction:
    • Includes teacher's active interventions that scaffold learning activities and focus learners on the important features of their experiences and activities within the community of learners.
  • Critical Framing:
    • Interpreting the cultural and social context of particular Designs of Meaning.
    • Involves students critically analyzing what they have learned in relation to its context.
  • Transformed Practice:
    • Putting transformed meaning to work in other contexts.
